On the other hand, it is also difficult to be removed even though the computer users have been used the Mac for a certain time, and there are some other problems that make the app cannot be removed so smoothly.

If you are a newbie of the Mac computer, you might be not clear about how to start and complete the removal on the computer, because the macOS does not provide any sort of removing feature or utility like the Windows does.

There are Swift apps with hundreds of megabytes of code making mangled names shorter has a noticeable impact on their code size. Pack all of that into your mangling, and soon enough it starts to cause appreciable code size issues. And Swift identifiers can have Unicode characters in them, too. And it can’t clash with any symbol generated by any other programming language, including pre-ABI-stable Swift. And there are often several variants of the same entity, each needing a different name (if you’ve ever seen “reabstraction thunk” in a Swift backtrace, you’ve seen an example). And all the types need to be qualified with a module name. That means not only the base name of a function, but also the argument labels, the parameter and return types, the generic constraints, the type it’s nested in, the kind of declaration, and a private identifier if it’s private or fileprivate. Mangling needs to produce a unique identifier for every possible (distinguishable, runtime-relevant) declaration you could write in a Swift program. I’ll raise a bug with the llvm guys if that’s breaking an agreed standard practice.

Is there any mission goal for llvm to generally produce gcc compatible assembly language? I’m not sure what the applicable standards are here. Reading the gcc standards, even modern gcc might not like that as I’m not sure if the parentheses instead of quotes matches the gcc identifier standards. The mangling format seems to have changed in swift 4.1 or 4.2?Īlso, and this isn’t a swift issue, it’s llvm, the llvm ir looks like call “$s3AVR.” and llc seems to compile that to call ($s3AVR.) which is also breaking I think.

(I’m using it to help with compatibility for people on older macs, my home compiles versions were breaking on 2013 Mac Pro’s but I’ll probably upgrade soon.) Technically I am pretty sure in modern gcc any identifier enclosed in double quotes is legitimate so it should work with modern swift name mangling.īut I think the version of avr-gcc I’m using from CrossPack, built in 2013 is maybe too old so it’s breaking. In order to do so I tried outputting assembly files then using avr-gcc to compile object files and looking at if they link, what is different to track down the bug. I’m trying to help track it down for the AVR llvm team. I think it’s probably a target specific bug in the AVR object file writer. However, since swift 5 I am getting obscure linker errors about overlapping sections when I go to link the elf file.


Until now, I was indeed using llc to write AVR object files. This is possibly unlikely to end up in production on my platform. That will be good enough to start to move my experiment on.
